Spring
2023:
I am currently working on renovating a 200 year-old
house for my wife and I, and will not be taking new
commissions for the time being.
The furniture I make is created
on a commission basis. Each piece is a joint effort
between the client and myself during the design
process. All of my work is made to order.
A project begins with talks &
e-mails between the client and I which involves
drawing up some simple sketches and sharing photos of
pieces of furniture to throw around ideas. This
is all free of charge and part of the process of
commissioning a custom piece of furniture.
When a design, price, and
schedule is agreed upon I write up an invoice and take
a 30% deposit to secure the time in my shop schedule.
I charge an hourly shop rate for
the time it takes to create each piece. This includes
design & drafting, sourcing materials, building,
and finishing. Materials and delivery are added to the
labor cost.
Each piece of furniture on my
website has listed the hours it would take for me to
make that piece individually. Making projects in
multiples tends to save time.
My current shop rate is $54 per
hour.

Guild of Furniture Makers page for prices of specific
pieces:

I carry full liability insurance
through ACT Insurance.
